Pigs on a roof! Five ways for urbanites to survive dirty food apocalypse in Vietnam

1. Rooftop farming

Rooftop view is now reserved for pigs and chicks as happy animals are known to make good meat. 

2. Skytrain above, plantation beneath

Sky high land prices in Hanoi have pushed its people to top notch innovation: intercropping veggies with a sky-train construction. 

3. Office workers turn into food vendors  

Multitasking at its finest: the workplace is now also a food market for mums and dads to exchange food goodies. After all, colleagues seem more trustworthy than a random street vendor while everyone with a private garden can cash in extra profits. Freshness is guaranteed as the officers have a crowd-funded fridge. Some have even gone an extra mile by setting up a Facebook shop for their office.
